Fancy an effortless voyage to the far ends of the earth or need to take a quick trip to a neighbouring city? Join a frequent flyer programme from one of the Star Alliance member airlines and find your way to 98 per cent of the planet.
Nothing but the best
Named the Best Airline Alliance at the Skytrax World Airline Awards in June for four years running, Star Alliance connects you seamlessly to over 1,250 destinations in 195 countries with more than 19,000 daily flights flown by its 27 airline members.   These carriers include many of the world’s top aviation companies and smaller regional airlines, all offering the highest standards of customer service, industry excellence and technical innovations that will give you the best travel experience.
#DetailsMatter
Every little thing makes a big difference to your journey. Flying on Star Alliance, and especially if you have earned the coveted Gold status, you can leave your travel worries at home. 
Long queues and tricky transfers are things of the past as Star Alliance has pulled out all the stops to deliver a rewarding experience to you from airport departures to arrivals with their commitment to a seamless customer journey.  With the largest global airline network at your fingertips, you can earn miles or points faster, access lounges with ease and track your baggage throughout your trip.
Want to tick off your bucket list sooner or need to traverse the globe on business? Make sure you book a Round-the-World ticket that offers flexible options and cost-effective fares. What’s more, Star Alliance only requires you to fly a minimum of two stops, one each over the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, and with your journey starting and ending in the same country. There’s no better time than now to begin planning your adventure.
Move Under One Roof 
Speed and easy accessibility are crucial when you navigate through airports. At key hubs, you will find the network’s member airlines conveniently located under one roof in the same terminal, which helps to cut connection times. Or you can make use of their self-service initiatives and tailor the whole travel experience to your needs.
Gold Track
All that glitters is gold.  Breeze through security by heading for the Star Alliance Gold Track, a dedicated fast lane where you will be waved through if you are a Gold member, or holding a First or Business Class ticket. You will find the Gold Track at over 150 airports.

Lounges
Lounges are havens where Gold members can relax and enjoy sumptuous hospitality in over 1,000 airport lounges worldwide before your flight. These include member airlines’ Business Class Lounges where you can bring one guest, regardless of their travel class, third-party contracted lounges and Star Alliance branded lounges.

Connection Service
On the road and can’t afford to miss a transfer?  Star Alliance’s Connection Service will help you smooth the process, whether you need to make a special occasion, a momentous celebration or a deal-making meeting in time.
You will find this exceptional service at 11 key hub airports in North America and Europe. Your flight is monitored behind the scene with a sophisticated software system, which springs into action when you need to make a tight connection to ensure you and your bag get to where you need to be. And in case you misconnect at the original connection, the service will help you rebook on the most suitable ones.

Earn & Redeem
Join the world’s largest airline network and start earning miles fast. First up, redeem an upgrade to a higher class of travel on all of its member carriers, a perk unique only to Star Alliance. When you have earned enough miles, redeem an award ticket for a free trip to a favourite destination. 
All you need to do is to enrol in a Frequent Flyer Programme with one of their 27 airline members and start collecting miles or points across them all. The beauty of using the single Frequent Flyer Programme is that you will reach Silver or Gold status faster, allowing you to enjoy premium benefits and privileges.
